Relationships & Family > Relationships & Family (Other) Does the law of attraction really work: 3 of 16
I have read a lot of self-help books that focus on the Law of Attraction. One of the issues I have with those books is that they might work and should work, but often don't. The main premise of every, single, one of these books was that manifesting prosperity was a simple matter of thinking (or feeling) it into being - Of sen... More..
Home & Garden > Furniture In-store shopping versus online shopping at IKEA: 1 of 3
My first trip to IKEA was the Grand Opening on March 12, 2008. I didn't camp out but I did arrive bright, and early, and stand in line with all the excited IKEAphiles. Up until then I'd only browsed the online catalogue and wasn't that impressed. Online, most of the furniture looked cheap and boxy and I couldn't really get a ... More..
Entertainment > TV Show Reviews TV show reviews: Dollhouse: 1 of 3
I want to begin by saying that I am more than a little biased toward Dollhouse.After all, it is a Joss Whedon show, and in my book, Joss Whedon can do no wrong.

So hid it ... More..

We also store glycogen in our livers and muscle cells as a kind of emergency backup. This glycogen is what's ultimately converted into energy in the cells and our cells use that energy 24/7... More..
Personal Finance > Smart Spending How to save money on groceries without coupons: 40 of 52
Coupons are a great way to save money but they are not very convenient. In my own experience, I've diligently clipped coupons then forgotten to use them at checkout. Or worse, I've held up the checkout line while looking for that 50 cent toilet paper coupon that I just had, in my hands, two seconds before. After a couple of w... More..
Health & Fitness > Diet & Weight Loss Biggest Loser recipes for weight loss: 4 of 5
Every now and then I watch the Biggest Loser. When the new season started, in January, I, reluctantly, had it programmed into my DVR.I say reluctantly because I have mixed feelings about that show.On the one hand it's interesting and inspiring to see people, who are so severely obese, lose weight. Especially since I have to a... More..
